These two were absolutely great - the venue was lovely and only really the weather made it a bit of a challenge. I actually got *two lots of 30 minutes with them which was a bonus and hopefully the results show that they actually were in to photographs and made the effort !

So few random ones and there is a slideshow on the blog

Great photos as always Simon. I really like the way you use off camera flash. Do you have any help to set it up or do you do it all yourself?

Thanks Neil .... 95% of the time I'm on my own - if it is windy I might press gang a bridesmaid to hold the light stand

Beautiful set, .......#3, for me is a wonderful shot, captures everything, plus the PP really suits.

ps. thanks for the tip with the patch tool, really does make a difference.

Thanks David
 
Nice set Simon. Like the balanced flash in 5 and 7.
 
These are superb; i love 14 & 15 particularly. Really admire your work and certainly hold it up as a quality to aspire to.
 
Cracking shots as always Simon :) Looks like you really connected well with the two of them which is good :D

One crit though, not a fan of #17 :( Looks a little soft/OOF? Might just be my monitor but i'm not sure about it, the background looks a bit distracting.

But as usual keep up the great work!

Thanks everyone - I'll have another look at #17 Jamie as the original is sharp

I love the lighting of picture 13. was this done just with a light stand facing the bride?
 
Are her eyes naturally that vivid blue or have you processed them Simon?
 
if you would be so kind, would you walk me through number 7, is it expose for the outside on manual then light the interior on ttl (with apropriate compensation) or what?

its a hard shot to nail, and a tricky one to practice, tempted to go to my local church in the afternoon and try it again and again until I have it nailed
 
Your use of lighting is, as usual, excellent. I particularly love no. 7.

In no. 12, I find the intruding elbow keeps drawing my eye, though.

Manual camera and TTL flash with a test shot before to balance

I agree with #12 ... sometimes it is what it is
 
In that case the lady has fantastic colour in her eyes, very photogenic.
 
Hi there Simon, :)

Love all of these shots...........especially #10, such clear detail, right down to the reflections from the water under the platform.

The couple both appear natural, oblivious to your presence! :) Well done Simon.
